A few days ago, Edward Snowden tweeted this after days of silence following Russia beginning the Urkaine invasion. At keast he knows he could it wrong 😅
@screem Is there some context to this Tweet? 🤔

@prologic Snowden has been very outwardly pro-Russia prior to the star of the Ukraine invasion. As soon as it started, he went silent for 3-4 days. He usually tweeted once a day, at least.
@screem And what's the relevance here? 🤔

@prologic He's just admitting that he was wrong to be so pro-Russia and telling people that Russia wouldn't needlessly invade another country, is all. Thought it was a little funny, but doesn't devalue his efforts towards privacy.
@screem Well I have a lot of respect for the guy (Edward Snowden), but I can't for the life of me think why he'd be "pro-Russia". Don't get me wrong, I've known many Russians, and they're good people, but if the idea of pro-Russia is to be involved in stupid cold wars for decades, have a "president" that changes the laws so he remains in power, then start pointless wars against other countries and commit human atrocities and crimes, I'm sorry I just can't even. I _hope_ to god the people of Russian revolt and rebel against all of this. 🤞

@prologic Yeah, I think the Ukraine situation has really made him rethink his position. Definitely just one miss step in a sea of good that he's done. 200+ Russian people were arrested in St Petersburg for protesting, so there definitely is internal backlash, which is very relieving IMO.
